      Leite, Luiz Eduardo; Alves, Renata; Lemos, Guido; Batista, Thais (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Most solutions proposed to implement audio and video distribution services have been designed for specific infrastructures or have been tailored to specific application requirements, such as stream and clients types which ...

    • Effective Exercise Instruction System Using Virtual Human 

      Itami, Yoshikazu; Yoshida, Norimasa; Kitajima, Katsuhiro (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      This study aims at developing an aerobics exercise instruction software for personal use by introducing an instruction program best fit to the physical conditions of respective exerciser. The software uses the combination ...

    • Estimating Traffic Density Using Sounds of Moving Vehicles 

      Kato, Jien; Hiramatsu, Yoshitaka; Watanabe, Toyohide (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      This paper proposed a method for automatically estimating traffic density by using sounds of moving vehicles. The approach is based on the idea of recognition of the temporal variations that appear on the power signals ...

    • Extended Format Definition and Quality-driven Format Negotiation in Multimedia Systems 

      Lohse, Marcos; Slusallek, Philipp; Wambach, Patrick (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Multimedia middleware needs to support a wide variety of devices together with their respective data formats. This becomes increasingly relevant and difficult in a distributed environment where new devices and formats ...

    • Image-based Rendering of the AnisotropicBRDF ofWoven Fabrics 

      Takeda, Yuki; Viet, Huynh Quang Huy; Tanaka, Hiromi T. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      The reflectance of fabric surface is commonly represented by a 4D bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF). To generate the BRDF from measured data by a gonioreflectometer with 2 degrees of freedom of the ...

    • Interactive, Evolutionary Textured Sound Composition 

      Fels, Sidney; Manzolli, Jonatas (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      We describe a system that maps the interaction between two people to control a genetic process for generating music. We start with a population of melodies encoded genetically. This population is allowed to breed every ...

    • LIVE@WEB.COM Using CBIR Technology in InteractiveWeb-TV 

      Morsdorf, Felix; Volmer, Stephan (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      The increasing amount of internet based television broadcasts has lead to new approachs to interactivity in TV programs. We developed a system which is able to supply the viewer of the program upon interaction with information ...

    • Mixing Images and Sketches for Retrieving Vector Drawings 

      Ferreira, A.; Fonseca, M. J.; Jorge, Joaquim A.; Ramalho, M. (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Current approaches to content-based retrieval of multimedia data usually rely either on query by example or on sketches of the desired image, but not on both. In this paper, we propose a new query specification scheme, ...

    • A New Approach to Multimedia Information Filtering Based on its Structure 

      Huang, Xiaodi; Yong, Jianming (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      In information filtering systems, the multimedia documents are sequentially presented to users based on the user relevance values. This paper argues that the presented multimedia documents should be both important and ...

    • A New Fingerprint Image Segmentation Algorithm Based on ROIO 

      Shi, Zhongchao; Xu, Ke; Wang, Yangsheng (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      We present a new fast and effective method of fingerprint image segmentation, which is different from traditio-nal methods that usually use some certain features to segment diversified images. Based on the region of ...

    • Non-Conventional Interfaces using Stamp Controllers 

      Mallinder, Hugh; Jones, Huw (The Eurographics Association, 2001)
      Artists continue to search for new methods of creation of artworks. The trend to interactive multimedia installation work requires systems that allow participants to interact in subtle ways. The paper describes a number ...

    • A Novel Quadtree-Structured Scheme for Transmitting Chinese Calligraphy Progressively 

      Chang, Chin-Chen; Li, Chien-Fa; Lin, Iuon-Chang (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Progressive image transmission (PIT) techniques are useful in Web applications. A user can get a rough preview of an image and decide if the entire detail of a picture needs to be transmitted, especially when the network ...

    • Optimum Detection of MultiplicativeWatermarks for Digital Images in the DWT Domain 

      Sun, Zhongwei; Feng, Dengguo; Xue, Rui (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      Watermark detection plays a crucial role in digital watermarking. It has traditionally been tackled using correla-tion-based techniques. However, the correlation-based detection is not the optimum choice when the host media ...

    • Progressive Image Transmission Using Singular Value Decomposition 

      Chang, Chin-Chen; Liu, Yi-Long (The Eurographics Association, 2004)
      There are many progressive image transmission schemes using vector quantization-related schemes, but there are some problems associated with them. First, these schemes need to train a codebook, and this codebook will ...
